Tripe (plural in French) is the lining of a pig's stomach. Caen is a town in Normandy, capital of the Département (County) of Calvados. Normandy is famous for cider, which being distilled produces the spirit called Calvados. Now, the biggest problem with tripe is that it is very tough and chewy. my Northern English mother used to eat it boiled, with vinegar. This is an acquired taste, and in my opinion can only be acquired with closed eyes and the mind on something else. However, by a happy coincidence, the troughnes can be dealt with by boiling the stuff for about 10 hours in Calvados. There's a recipe in Wikipedia, at http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook:Tripes_%C3%A0_la_mode_de_Caen.
